Energy Efficiency and Waste Reduction

In the manufacturing process, 75% of the electricity comes from renewable sources. We have a photovoltaic plant with a total power of over 250 kWp.

We are part of a Green Energy Community

We are members and founding partners of the Manresa Il·lumina Energy Business Community, a pioneering cooperative in Spain for generating and sharing green energy.

The Community also works on other services such as sustainable mobility, shared mobility, wind energy, or biomass heating network.

We use water responsibly

In addition to energy, water also plays a prominent role in our manufacturing process.

For this reason we have a treatment plant where we treat, once the dyeing process is complete, all the water we use. With this we manage to return more than 80% of the water to the network, thus minimizing the impact on the environment.

We take many actions to reduce waste

Various company actions are aimed at waste reduction:

  • Continuous monitoring of environmental indicators.
  • Thorough stock control to avoid product waste.
  • Participation in the industrial symbiosis project on circular economy.
  • Donations to third parties of non-marketable products.

Eco-friendly and Recycled Materials

Sustainability is a fundamental priority, and that is why we are proud to have the BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) certification for our cotton ribbons. This certification ensures that the cotton used in our products is grown following sustainable agricultural practices, which reduce water and chemical use, while promoting fair working conditions for farmers.

The BCI reflects our commitment to environmental preservation and support for farming communities, offering our customers a guarantee of sustainability and social responsibility.

Tapes made with this fiber are environmentally friendly as their production requires less water and energy compared to other textile fibers.

This fiber is fully biodegradable and decomposes naturally. Additionally, the raw material comes from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which guarantees responsible and sustainable forest management.

We are firmly committed to the use of recycled materials in the manufacture of our woven ribbons. We use recycled polyester from post-consumer materials, such as plastic bottles, thus contributing to waste reduction and conservation of natural resources.

Responsibility and Safety

We consider safety and responsibility to be fundamental pillars of our production. That is why we are proud to have the OEKO-TEX Class 1 certification, which guarantees that our woven ribbons are free of harmful substances and safe even for baby and toddler products.

This certification reflects our commitment to quality and safety, ensuring our customers that they are offering a reliable and human-health-friendly product.

Additionally, we also have this certification for ribbons made with recycled polyester (100% post-consumer material from PET bottles).

Innovation and Sustainable Development

Innovation is key to our sustainability strategy. We invest in process and machinery improvement, exploring new practices that allow us to manufacture more sustainable and environmentally friendly woven ribbons.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

In our effort to continue contributing to the conservation of the planet, we have calculated the carbon footprint. This calculation quantifies the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions produced by the various activities (direct and indirect) carried out by the organization.

The main objective of this calculation is the systematic reduction of these emissions.

Social Commitment, Collaboration, and Participation

We are committed to corporate social responsibility by ensuring fair and safe working conditions for all our employees.

We are proud to highlight that more than 50% of our workforce is made up of women, reflecting our commitment to equal opportunities and diversity.

We work hand in hand with other companies, institutions, and non-governmental organizations to promote sustainable practices in our industry.
